It is not impossible ANYWHERE. In the US abortion IS legal thank God. Go to your local planned parenthood center find one here: http://www.plannedparenthood.org/findCenterProcess.asp . They charge you on a sliding V scale which means they charge you by how much money you can afford to give and some even charge nothing. Good luck! Remember is YOUR body and YOUR choice no one elses.!!!!!!!!!!!
And it will not hurt at all! If you go to planned parenthood they will answer all your questions!
Edited to add: Good luck! And if you are doubting your choice remeber shouldnt every child be wanted and loved??

thats just selfish, have 2 kids but throw the 3rd one away. its not the babys fault u know. u can afford it,u just dont want to. there are many things that the government can give u,like food stamps,wic,medicaid etc.or maybe u should work and take care of this baby. what will u tell his/her brothers and sisters? yes it hurts u,u will cramp,bleed etc. a lot of times women develop a lot of problems from having abortions,some even die from scraping placenta tissue etc. I dont know how far along u are but do u know what they do to babys duriong abortion..i will tell u.during first trimester which u are probably in they are going to take a long tube with a sharp cutting edge on the tip of it and insert it into your uterus where they will turn on this machine that will tear the babys body apart and suck it out through the tube..so yes it hurts the baby. ur baby will feel the pain,just like u would if someone did this to you because they didnt want to keep u,because u were too expensive. c'mon..this baby needs a chance,at least adoption. i know a few girls that have had numerous miscarriages after having abortions and will prob not be able to have more babies. plus they cry all the time and even wish there baby was here with them. please give this baby a chance and stop being so damn selfish..this is part of you. look on google.com and search for what your baby prob looks like right now and u will see its a baby not just tissue or a blob. look under abortion procedures also. trust me it will make u change your mind.good luck!

If you are dead set on getting one then do it...I, for one am completely against abortion in a case like yours. If you can't afford to have anymore babies then you should be taking the steps to prevent this from happening! If you really and truly cannot afford this baby, look around for an adoptive family. In some cases, you could even be lucky enough to find a family that is willing to pay the medical bills for your prenatal visits and the hospital bill when you give birth.
As to whether or not it hurts...I have no idea. I've never had nor do I ever plan on having an abortion. I'm sure it hurts the fetus and I'm sure that afterwards, you will be heartbroken that you took an innocent life. Perhaps not right away but years down the road it's memory will come back to haunt you.

Why would you ask such an imflammatory question to a panel of strangers that I can assure you are going to razz you about terminating a pregnancy? Termination of a pregnancy is NO MORE PAINFUL physically than a bad menstrual period with cramping and bleeding afterwards. You need to do what YOU feel you must. Your family isn't the ones having to support, raise and house this fetus and NEITHER are the people here online that you are asking approval from. They piss and moan about having to pay for the welfare recipients collecting their tax dollars and pumping out babies left and right but their solutions seems to be......don't kill your baby, form a close bond to it while going through with the pregnancy then give it away.

Well I would consider adoption first.
And you s hould know that it depends on how far along you are. If you are farther along say 13-16 weeks, it is a 2 day procedure and yes the recovery is painful. It only takes about 2-3 days to recover but you will be extremely uncomfortable.
I will ask you to reconsider. I had an abortion in my teens and it was a very traumatic experience, and I still have not forgotten. It will be hard to forgive yourself.
Whatever you decide, good luck and god bless.

You want to kill a child?? There are so many people out there that can't have kids. Let your baby be adopted! You can screen the to-be-parents and make sure that they are who you want to raise the baby. They will also pay for doctors app. and delivery fees. Yes, an abortion does hurt. After the pain of the abortion. There are so many women that have to deal with the fact that they killed their baby and go through years and years of counseling. They hurt for a life time for a decision that they made that affected the rest of their life. I hope that you decide not to go ahead with this. Please get in contact with an agency to find out more options!!

I'll answer your question since nobody else here did, they just made suggestions and assumptions. If you do not want to have another baby please don't. Do what is best for YOU! Not your family or society. It does not hurt to have an abortion and neither will it hurt the fetus. Just do it early enough. Don't let people tell you that you will regret it because results vary from person to person. I know many people who felt a great sense of relief!

My husband and I are one of those couples who would love to have a child and raise a family, but I am unable to conceive. So it would be better to adopt, that way you would know that your child isn't dead, and they would go to a loving family who really wants a child and would treat them very good and not take a child for granted.

No it doesn't hurt but I assure you that you will regret it for the rest of your life. Have you thought about carrying the baby to term and giving it up for adoption? Who knows, it may become a great leader or pewrson of importance one day if given a chance to live. Think about it - trust me on this.

It doesn't hurt and it's legal in some states, such as Georgia and Florida. If you are going to have an abortion, many places won't do it until weeks, not after 10 weeks.
